We said goodbye. Tried our hand at magic.
                         
But we couldn't make us disappear.
                              
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.
                              
So run away, I'm glad you're still here.
                  
It's a bitter sweet victory.
                    
Lovin' the ghost in front of me.

                         
Now I     can't laugh, can't cry.
                       
And I can't run, can't hide.
               
What do I gotta do?
                    
What do I gotta do to keep you?
                                 
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

I wrote a couple of notes.
                   
One in love, one in anger.
                               
They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer.
                                              
Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger.
                                 
He loved me until I loved you even more.
                  
It's a bitter sweet victory.
                       
Lovin' someone else who wanted me.

                         
Now I     can't laugh, can't cry.
                        
And I can't run, can't hide.
                            
You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting
               
Till you can't feel anything.

                                  
You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it.
                       
As if your words were my tears.
                      
Flowing freely, warm and quiet.
                               
From the edges of my eyes and my ears.
              
Then all that disappears.

                         
Now I     can't laugh, can't cry.
                      
And I can't run, can't hide.
                         
Now I     can't laugh, can't cry.
                      
And I can't run, can't hide.

               
What do I gotta do
               
What do I gotta do to keep you?
                                  
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
